I really want to incorporate reflections in my concentration because I love the variety of pictures I could take with it. Also maybe some black and white pictures for effect.
High school and university students competed in the 2018 Human Exploration Rover Challenge event at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Students came from across the U.S. as well as several foreign countries such as Brazil, Germany, India, and Mexico. This event, which is normally a 2 day event, was shortened to 1 day in 2018 due to adverse weather conditions.

Former school for paramedic training. An official plaque in the main hall said it was erected in 1978.
A sheer thirty years have passed and it's a dump, ready to be demolished.
Was the term "Waste Culture" already coined back than?

I'm experimenting with this format as an alternative way of displaying images. Am looking to marry my images with my own music compositions.

NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity took some time during its winter science campaign to image the surface of Victoria Crater as it drove closer to the Cape Verde cliff face. This false color image, taken a couple sols (martian days) after the Martian solstice (Sol 1570-1571), shows weathered rocks and abundant sand-size sediment on the surface just below the rim of Victoria Crater. Rock fragments on the surface show thin sediment beds indicative of aeolian or possibly aqueous deposition. Small ripples and wind tails on the sandy surface may be evidence of more recent wind-related processes at work.

Since 1927 Setzer Forest Products (formerly the Setzer Box Company) has occupied the area at Broadway and Third Street in Sacramento, California.
Originally Setzer manufactured soft pine shooks ("shook" is the term for pre-sawn material used to make boxes) , trays, picking boxes and nailed boxes. Setzer manufactured boxes for many local and national and international brands such as Del Monte, Hunt's Palmolive, Campbell's and Van Camp's among others.
In 1933, the National Industrial Recovery Act was passed, which hampered the production of boxes as Setzer could only sell the box shooks at the amount it cost the company for the lumber.
In response, in 1934 Setzer purchased land and built sawmills in Greenville, California and Sacramento, California.
In addition to it's boxes, Setzer also began to manufacture Pres-to-Logs and (production ceased in 1992) shade slats (production of which ceased in the late 1970's).
1968 was a busy year for Setzer, due to the construction of Interstate 5, Setzer closed its lumber storage facility and some of it's sawmill operations in Sacramento, in addition, a separate Setzer facility near 65th Street in Sacramento, which housed a planing mill and also produced boxes, closed the same year.
Setzer also changed their name from the "Setzer Box Company" to "Setzer Forest Products" the same year.
Beginning in 1970 Setzer began to produce finger joint mouldings and in 1978 began production of cut stock for window and door manufacturers.
In 1998 Setzer began to produce Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), which it still produces today.
In 2006, Setzer sold off nearly 31 acres of it's remaining mill property in Sacramento, for the development and construction of a mixed use project with up to 2,000 homes.
Today the MDF and moulding production is still active, although the mill has begun to slowly dismantle some of their facilities, as the housing development encroaches.
In the not too distant future, with the expectation that urban infill projects continue, this entire Setzer operation in Sacramento will cease to exist and the history of this lumber mill will be a memoir of history.
